Is there a surveyor in the house?
I was wondering how property boundary line distances and acreages
are calculated in sloping terrain. Are boundary distances
reported as the distance along the ground surface or are they
recorded as projections of the distance along the ground into the
x-y plane? In other words, if a line measured between two
monuments is 1200 ft along the ground, and one monumnet is 600 ft
higher than the other, is that leg recorded as being 1200 ft or
1039.2 ft (1200*cos(30 degrees))?
Given that, is acreage calculated based on surface area or as
area projected into the X-Y plane? Seems to me if you have to
pay $30,000/acre it would make a difference.
